Can Presence Of Mold Increase The Pain Due To Muscle Injury?

I have an old muscle injury that seems to be getting worse. We live in an area where there is a lot of mold growing on bare spots in the lawn and where physical mold can be seen on the siding of the house and the decks. Can the mold play a part in my leg hurting me more?

Hello,

Presence of mold is not likely to affect this but the damp and humid weather conditions can cause an increase in the muscle and joint pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
